. . . for there were many who loved the vain things of the world . . .
Alma 1:16
The vain things of the world have held
me in their thrall until I swelled
with pride and other vicious lore,
so I did heed the Lord no more.
I was so foolish and unruly,
yet the Lord still loved me truly;
so when at last I bowed my head
to seek forgiveness with great dread --
All my fears were washed away:
A gentle voice did seem to say
"Welcome home, my fool esteemed;
come revel with the glad redeemed!"
